EU ambassadors have preliminarily agreed on new sanctions against russia. Restrictions are planned to be imposed on 145 individuals and legal entities involved in russian aggression against Ukraine, cyberattacks and hybrid activities.
This is reported by European Pravda, citing an EU diplomat familiar with the results of the meeting.
The EU Foreign Affairs Council, whose meeting will take place in Brussels on Monday, November 16, must finally approve the new sanctions lists.
What restrictions the EU plans to introduce
"Twelve individuals and 101 legal entities will be included in the sanctions lists for actions against the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Among this hundred are 50 Russian banks," the publication's source said.
Sanctions will also be imposed against a number of companies that facilitate the activities of russia's shadow fleet.
In addition, 30 individuals and one legal entity will be added to the list under the sanctions regime regarding russia's hybrid activities. And one more legal entity — to the EU sanctions regime regarding cyberattacks.
Recall that Finance.ua previously reported that the Council of the European Union extended for another 36 months the sanctions against persons responsible for undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. At the same time, two Russian oligarchs were removed from the sanctions list. They are Mikhail Fridman and Alisher Usmanov. It was precisely because of discussions surrounding their exclusion that the decision to extend the sanctions was delayed.
